I found out after lunch on the 25th that my pre-op diet was to start on the 25th. So what did I do? I went out for Mexican food that night! I figured that since I had already eaten two meals that day, I might as well get the last thing off my "have to have it before surgery list" Luckily, my list wasn't too long! I also ate some of the pies that my daughter bought from the culinary school for Thanksgiving. She had picked them up that day. A nice finish to the Mexican food :D ! Since then, I've been toeing the pre-op diet line!

I have 7 days left to get through until surgery. My date is dec. 9th (: I did eat on thanksgiving my dietician told me I would be ok as long as I didnt go crazy and I didnt! Ive lost 5 lbs so far. And im super excited its almost here.

Oh I did . I don't even eat McDonalds normally but my "last fat meal" was a Big Mac and large fry . I don't know why I picked that out of all the food but it just seemed "right"'. I was having Mini food funerals for about two weeks though. Of course now none of those foods are appealing. I didn't have to lose weight though. In fact I had to gain 8lbs in order to qualify mainly due to my height since I had no comorbidities.

Yep - same here! Before the pre-op diet I ate a big ol' burger with all the toppings and fries. I also had a chinese food funeral, and I forget, I think there was one other food type that I indulged in. But I still lost about 5 pounds in the couple months before pre-op and then about 15 on the 2-week pre-op. After surgery I was really glad I'd done that. It helped me to feel less deprived later.

Ty (: I agree. I also want to have a very safe surgery! Ill def keep posting. I'm so ready for this change! I have been big m whole life. Never had any medical problems so I'm lucky in that sense but I loathe being so unhappy with myself. I looked into surgery for a couple years before I even went to see the doc. And then I got pregnant and after I had the baby I went back right away! And that's how I got approved for surgery because right after I had him my bmi was over 40 but before it was 38 so I was almost there anyways. I'm scared in some ways and ik its going to take time to adjust but I feel it's a great choice to a better life

you can di it!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
